New York is a city that awakens all the senses — the sights, the smells, and most notably, the sounds. This December, the Q***r Big Apple Corps Symphonic Band will guide you on an auditory journey through the city we love, celebrating the vibrant sounds of the streets, the energy of its people, and the harmony of its communities.

We had a fantastic time performing at Little Island last night as part of Ivesiade 🎹 It was a beautiful evening and a full circle moment for the QBAC. Back in the day, the band rehearsed on Pier 54 which was later rebuilt into Little Island! Thank you so much to the team for the opportunity to play in such a unique space 🎶
